# Twitch User Videos API

`GET /v1/twitch/user-videos`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/twitch/user-videos`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Twitch channel VODs — lean rows, video-id cursor, filter/sort, top-level broadcaster{} (flat 2).

Pass a Twitch channel URL or username and get a clean videos[] list (not a profile dump). Each row: id, url, embedUrl, title, createdAt, durationSeconds, views, thumbnail (320x180 — {width}x{height} substituted; thumbnailTemplate kept), animatedPreviewUrl, broadcastType, game (+ gameId/gameSlug/box art), lowercase language. Channel identity is once at the top as broadcaster{id,handle,displayName,url,avatar,followers,isPartner,isAffiliate} — videos[] do not repeat channel{}/broadcaster/broadcasterProfileImage. The same lean row shape is used on profile.recentVideos[]. filterBy=ARCHIVE|HIGHLIGHT|UPLOAD (omit for all types — no default filter; an unset filterBy is omitted, not null). sortBy=TIME|VIEWS. nextCursor is the last video id on the page (stable within the window — not a raw offset). Hard ceiling: first 100 matching videos (windowMax=100); Twitch anonymous GQL rejects after-cursors with IntegrityCheckFailed, so deeper history is not available. Flat 2 credits per call.
